Hi Sandy! I remember making these a few years ago and I thought you used Raisin Bran cereal, 6 cups maybe? I see you updated the recipe a couple of months ago, did you change to the bran cereal and bran buds? Can you send me the previous recipe? Thank you!

My FIL always make this recipe. And I have made it since the 70’s. So agree that it is too sweet and dropped the sugar to 1 1/2 c this time and I am soooo happy with the results!

Hi there
Can I sub wheat bran? If so it’s finer so do you know the measurement conversion? Thank you!

In reply to Jane Stein. Hi, Jane. I've never used shortening for this recipe - only the vegetable oil. Let me know if it works!

Can I use melted Crisco instead of vegetable oil?
